So I'm a little tiered of my sorc and i wanna make an troll char.

Purpurse of the build is to solo P8 tz and BM PK any1 who does not like me beeing in the tz.
Will only kill boss packs and skip others.
If tz is boring i will do CS seal pop and/or nila.

I am going with mana shield without prebuff.
And on switch hoto + lidless for 105 fcr BP for tele.

Thought on char: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/iv0106sa

I know all items are perfect and on b-net i will get random stats on most items.

Whould like inputs on the following:

1. Is Mana shield useless without cta?
2. I'm unsure of the inventory and gloves.
3. I'm a mana shield noob(ialways went full vita in D2LOD) so any input on HP/mana ratio is thankful.
4. I'm unsure of the AR. is 5K ar enough to hit PVM chars like javazon, nova sorcs, sin variants. I think it might struggle to paladin variants.

Any input on above is greatly appriceted.

i think this is hilarious. 5k ar isn't a lot for pvp. you are right you might struggle to hit pallys. it might be worth it to put a point into thunder strike.

this won't be able to p8

Thanks alot for imput.
I changed amu and ring to angelic combo. But i had to shift gloves from frostburns to magefist for maintaing 105 fcr on switch.
Unsure how this will impact my mana/life ratio.
But hit almost 9K ar

Build with AR: https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/w10106oq


How so?

I know it wont kill alot of mobs fast, its more a sniping bossmonsters build.
It worked pre D2LOD?

Psn dagger Sorc aka melee sorc:
Made now PSN DAGGER SORK!
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/gb01068n

No precast is involved, venom from arach is equipped.

Stats speaks for itself:
75% es (if u bother precast u get: 6 more from es memory, 3 more from helm, 1 more from ammu, 1 more from secondary soj, 2 more from 3es ormus = 88%. I did not even bother making it xD)
20 base tk
U can also go all in and precast enchant: 5 more Chant/fire mastery orb, 9 more via skillers, 3 more via helm(and 2 facets), 1 more via ammu, 3 more via 3ench ormus and 20% FEUER, 1 more magefist, 1 more secondary soj. = 25 more skills to fire mastery and enchant and 30% fire increase on top.
75% block
3,2k mana
1,3k life
good resists

Oki now dmg profiles(no chest precast).
Venom/Psn dagger psn damage: 945-1163 over 3,6 seconds(remember the -100 plr in hell)
Light damage: 115-66600
Fire damage: 2045-2416
Cold dmg: 1-6
physical dmg: 64-479
Sums up at: 3170 - 70739 damage!

Holy shock aura:
6-3368 at long range
12-6736 at close range
and ofc 2 ticks of this pr time.

Ofc u can choose or find sword with same stats but zeal charges.

Attack raing base: 75+1630+1733+120 = 3558
Bonuses:
Enchant: 299%
Psn dagger: 110%
Zeal: 40%

Full ar on psn dagger: 18110

Zeal attackspeed and ar:
3,28 attacks per second.
Full ar on zeal: 15619

thx alot for input!
That fools fanged knive with that attack speed looks great. but might be impossible to find?
I see you have 3:1 mana:life ratio. would you say thats optimum with no precast ES?
I also se you didn't use lightning sunder, like me. it pretty overkill and bad vs PvM nova sorcs right?
Is light dmg/mana scs best for this build?
Also 100 FCR on Bo switch?

Its statted for max block, Else rest mana.

This is kinda what is 100% optimal as melee sorc in pvp in mye eyes, items May not even be found at theese days and most likely cost a fortune.

Anyway, it gives a picture and tips and tricks. One does not always need perfect items.

some very cute stuff on the maxroll setup, but no cnbf? that dagger gonna be swinging hella slow
I feel like pdagger sorc is both very cute and gonna have some issues from a practical standpoint

I kinda like fools/ias/zeal pb or fools/ias/conc pb >.>
also seen some bow sorcs lately that mix in poison via charms, could be an alternative to trying pdagger with level 3 venom

edit: just noticed the lower resist charges on dagger, lol thats so cute, although hella improbable spawn
